Google just released a new messaging app that lets you do much more than send messages

Google just announced on Wednesday during its Google I/O event a brand new messaging app called Allo that lets you do more than send simple text and emojis.

It's a smart messaging app that learns about you via your usual conversations with its "smart reply" feature.

For example, it brings up suggestions for your reply to a text so you don't have to type anything. It also suggests emojis and stickers as replies, too. It's a similar feature we've seen with Google's recent Inbox email service.

It also lets you draw on pictures right from the app and send them.

It's also integrated with Google's latest "Google Assistant" feature so you can do things like search for a restaurant and make reservations all from the Allo app. Google

With Google's Assistant, you can also do Google searches for information on the topic you're talking about so you don't need to leave the app.
